Gracious

Well said Prophetess, in terms of the hermeneutics to offset the posters cursory understanding of the Bible, which results in eisegesis of the text.

Greetings Beloved,

I 've been following this conversation & perhaps this may help ...

Your topic:

God is a Human Being according to the Bible?


Not so ... here's why:

Jesus' Two Natures: God and Man
Jesus is the most important person who has ever lived since he is the Savior, God in human flesh.


He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and fully man.

In other words, Jesus has two distinct natures: divine and human.
Jesus is the Word who was God, and was with God, and was made flesh (John 1:1,14).

This means that in the single person of Jesus he has both a human and divine nature, God and man. The divine nature was not changed when the Word became flesh (John 1:1,14).

Instead, the Word was joined with humanity (Col. 2:9).

Jesus' divine nature was not altered.

Also, Jesus is not merely a man who "had God within Him," nor is he a man who "manifested the God principle."

He (Jesus The Christ) is God in flesh, second person of the Trinity.

"The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word," (Heb. 1:3).

Jesus' two natures are not "mixed together" (Eutychianism), nor are they combined into a new God-man nature (Monophysitism).

They are separate yet act as a unit in the one person of Jesus. This is called theHypostatic Union.


Jesus The Christ is the Word — the Logos — THE LIVING, CREATIVE WORD!

The following should help you see ... the TWO natures of Jesus The Christ "in action":

Jesus (Fully Divine) = GOD ​

He is worshiped (Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33)
He was called God (John 20:28; Heb. 1:8)
He was called Son of God (Mark 1:1)
He is prayed to (Acts 7:59)
He is sinless (1 Pet. 2:22; Heb. 4:15)
He knows all things (John 21:17)
He gives eternal life (John 10:28)
All the fullness of deity dwells in Him (Col. 2:9)

Jesus (Fully Human) = MAN ​

He worshiped the Father (John 17)
He was called man (Mark 15:39; John 19:5)
He was called Son of Man (John 9:35-37)
He prayed to the Father (John 17)
He was tempted (Matt. 4:1)
He grew in wisdom (Luke 2:52)
He died (Rom. 5:8)
He has a body of flesh and bones (Luke 24:39)
